544.8 mg (4.75 mmol) of methanesulfonyl chloride were added dropwise with cooling to 1000 mg (4.32 mmol) of 3-(6-(4-fluorophenyl)pyridin-3-yl)propan-1-ol (prepared analogously to example 1a), starting from 3-(6-bromopyridin-3-yl)propionic acid ethyl ester and 4-fluorophenylboronic acid) and 656.3 mg (6.48 mmol) of triethylamine in 50 ml of methylene chloride.
